I live near Super King Market on Glenoaks, and I recently had Drip Too Hard Plumbing out for a drain cleaning. I’m really glad I called them. The drain had been backing up and draining slowly, and they were able to clear it out quickly without any mess. They showed up on time, explained what was causing the issue, and made sure everything was flowing properly before leaving. The whole process was smooth, professional, and stress-free. You can tell they actually care about doing the job right, not just rushing through it. If you’re in the Glenoaks area and need a reliable plumber for drain cleaning, I’d definitely recommend Drip Too Hard Plumbing. I’ll be calling them again if anything else comes up.

I needed an emergency plumber in Burbank near the Hillside area, and I’m honestly grateful I found Drip Too Hard Plumbing. They showed up on time and immediately made me feel like my home was in good hands. Harry walked me through every step of the process, and Jon made sure the work was done clean and professionally. They performed a full hydro jetting on my line and also handled a tankless water heater replacement the same day. What really stood out was the transparency, the communication, and the DTHPromise they give you real peace of mind from a company that stands behind their work.If you’re looking for a Burbank plumber you can trust, especially for emergencies, I highly recommend Drip Too Hard Plumbing. These guys are the real deal.

What Studio City Homeowners Call Us About
Years of local experience means we know what to expect in Studio City.
Galvanized pipes corroding and restricting flow
Learn more
Many Studio City homes built in the 1950s-1960s still have original galvanized pipes that are now severely corroded. The moderately hard LADWP water accelerates this corrosion, causing low water pressure and rusty water throughout neighborhoods like Woodbridge Park and Colfax Meadows.
Tree root intrusion in sewer lines
Learn more
Studio City's mature landscaping and established trees create ongoing sewer line challenges, particularly in older neighborhoods near Ventura Boulevard. Root intrusion is especially problematic for homes with original cast iron sewer lines from the post-war building boom.
Water heater making popping or rumbling noises
Learn more
The moderately hard water from LADWP causes significant sediment buildup in Studio City water heaters. This is particularly common in the area's ranch-style homes where original water heaters may have decades of mineral accumulation causing loud operational noises.
Unexplained increase in water bills
Learn more
Hidden leaks are common in Studio City's post-war tract homes, often occurring in under-slab copper pipes or aging galvanized connections. The valley's stable soil helps hide these leaks until they become significant, resulting in mysterious water bill spikes for homeowners.
